I agree with you all 100% I jus signed it cuz I might as well. I dont see Nfa ever being repealed. I would like to see a legitimate paper
Petition for the repeal of the 86 machine-gun ban. I would gladly pay the 200 bucks to make my own mg.

I think the funny thing is the way the pre-86 and NFA cap law got passed- by a last minute, VOICE vote, attached to a different bill. Dirty politicians... I have been in the military for 8 years, carried a M249 para, shot M240Gs, Bs, M2 50s, MK-19s, and carried a select fire M4, yet when I come back, I am not trusted for an inch by the govt... yeah thanks for that, you're welcome for my service assholes....

I agree with the petition, but I don't think the online petition will have much of an impact especially when there are signatures like "John Doe" on there. (Sorry if your name really is John Doe and signed this). I do agree strongly though. I too am a member of the military with 2 tours in Iraq and 1 in Afghanistan and to be told I am not to be trusted with a fully automatic weapon or a suppressor when I am part of an organizatin that simply requires me to check these items out, is pretty insulting. I am originally from California and have seen these types of "Knee Jerk" laws with California Law Makers thinking if these laws aren't passed then Armaggedon will be at hand and blood shed will spill out throughout our local streets and communities. Absolutely rediculous, two assholes ILLEGALLY attain rifles, ILLEGALLY modify them to go full auto, ILLEGALLY get body armor, ILLEGALLY rob a bank and ILLEGALLY fire at police leading to an all out firefight in North Hollywood and now its illegal to own a gun that is worth a damn in California. Yeah I feel like I'm being slapped in the face by being told I can be trusted in a combat zone, but not in my own home. I have filed for a tax stamp on one of my firearms and the process is out of control and my personal belief is this process is meant to discourage people from getting NFA class III weapons rather than to register them "Legally". Good idea with the petition, but online isn't the way to do it.

I don't know if the petition will do any good...I'm sure it won't do harm, but I just got home from my class 3/sot dealer starting my form 4 for a silencer and he seems to think in the next few months the Chief LEO sign-off will be done away with on all NFA transfers.
